1. Roald Hoffmann - Autobiography
   I was named after roald Amundsen, my first Scandinavian My mother remarried, and PaulHoffmann was a kind and two months prior to the nobel Prize announcement.

   Extractions: I learned English, my sixth language at this point, quite quickly. After P.S. 93 and P.S. 16, Brooklyn, I went on to the great Stuyvesant High School, one of New York's selective science schools. Among my classmates were not only future scientists but lawyers, historians, writers - a remarkable group of boys. In the summers I went to Camp Juvenile in the Catskills, a formative experience. Elinor, my younger sister, was born in 1954. In 1955 I began at Columbia College as a premedical student. That summer and the next I worked at the National Bureau of Standards in Washington with E.S. Newman and R.E. Ferguson. The summer after I worked at Brookhaven National Laboratory, with J.P. Cumming. These summers were important because they introduced me to the joys of research, and kept me going through some routine courses at Columbia. I did have some good chemistry teachers, G.K. Fracnkel and R.S. Halford, and a superb teaching assistant, R. Schneider. But I must say that the world that opened up before me in my non science courses is what I remember best from my Columbia days. I almost switched to art history. I came back to Harvard, began some abortive (and explosive) experimental work, and Eva and I took off for a year to the Soviet Union. It was the second year of the U.S.-U.S.S.R graduate student exchange. I worked for 9 months at Moscow University with A.S. Davydov on excitor theory. Eva and I lived in one of the wings, Zona E, of that great central building of Moscow University. My proficiency in Russian and interest in Russian culture date from that time.

"Oxygen" alternates between 1777 and 2001-the Centenary of the Nobel Prize-when the Nobel Foundation decides to inaugurate a "Retro-Nobel" Award for those great discoveries that preceded the establishment of the Nobel Prizes one hundred years before. The Foundation thinks this will be easy, that the Nobel Committee can reach back to a period when science was done for science's sake, when discovery was simple, pure, and unalloyed by controversy, priority claims, and hype?.

   Extractions: Roald Hoffmann was born in 1937 in Zloczow, Poland (now Zoloczew, Ukraine). He immigrated to the United States with his family in 1949. He graduated from Columbia University (1958) and received his Ph.D. from Harvard University in 1962. He collaborated with Robert B. Woodward at Harvard during the next three years and then joined the Cornell University faculty in 1965. In addition to sharing the Nobel Prize, the American Chemical Society has honored him with the Priestley Medal, the Arthur C. Cope Award in Organic Chemistry, and the American Chemical Society Award in Inorganic Chemistry. He received also Pimentel Award in Chemical Education, Award in Pure Chemistry, Monsanto Award, National Medal of Science. Hoffmann is currently a professor of chemistry at Cornell University, focusing in the area of applied theoretical chemistry. Roald Hoffmann has been very active in communicating science to non-scientists, and he is also an accomplished poet and writer. He published two scientific-popular books: Chemistry imagined: Reflections on Science (1993) and The Same and Not the Same (1995). In 1993, Hoffmann hosted a 26-segment television documentary on the Public Broadcasting Service entitled

   Extractions: (b. July 18, 1937, Z l Fukui Kenichi of Japan, of the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1981 for their independent investigations of the mechanisms of chemical reactions. Hoffmann immigrated to the United States with his family in 1949. He graduated from Columbia University and received his Ph.D. from Harvard University in 1962. He collaborated with Robert B. Woodward at Harvard during the next three years and then joined the Cornell University faculty in 1965. Hoffmann undertook the research leading to his share of the prize when he and Woodward sought an explanation of the unexpected course taken by a reaction that Woodward and his colleagues had hoped to use in the synthesis of the complicated molecule of vitamin B . Hoffmann and Woodward discovered that many reactions involving the formation or breaking of rings of atoms take courses that depend on an identifiable symmetry in the mathematical descriptions of the molecular orbitals that undergo the most change. Their theory, expressed in a set of statements now called the Woodward-Hoffmann rules, accounts for the failure of certain cyclic compounds to form from apparently appropriate starting materials, though others are readily produced; it also clarifies the geometric arrangement of the atoms in the products formed when the rings in cyclic compounds are broken.

11. An Interview With Roald Hoffmann
    Chemist and Writer An Interview with roald hoffmann. I love seeing connections, says chemist, poet and nobel laureate roald hoffmann of Cornell University.  
    http://www.sciencewatch.com/interviews/roald_hoffmann.htm
    
    Extractions: "I love seeing connections," says chemist, poet and Nobel laureate Roald Hoffmann of Cornell University. "I can teach chemists the language of solid-state physics, and maybe teach physicists the inherent value of chemical bonding concepts." Roald Hoffmann is also a literate chemist, as we can see from his recent book Chemistry Imagined: Reflections on Science. This is a joint publication with the artist Vivian Torrence, and combines essays, poems, and articles with a series of collages inspired by chemistry. Torrence has been a visiting scholar at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, where Hoffmann is Professor of Physical Science, and her work has been exhibited in art galleries across the United States. Hoffmann's literary achievement shows that chemistry can be a worthwhile, if unexpected, subject for poetry and prose. Hoffmann was born in eastern Poland in 1937, just before that part of his native country was occupied by the Soviet Union in 1939. In 1941 it was overrun by the Nazis, and although he was of Jewish parents, Hoffmann survived the Second World War. He emigrated to the U.S. in 1949, settled in New York, and went to Stuyvesant High School. From there he went to Columbia College and graduated in 1958. His next stop was Harvard, where he was awarded an M.A. in physics in 1960 and a Ph.D. in chemical physics in 1962, working under the supervision of Martin Gouterman and William Lipscomb. His research involved applying the theory of molecular orbitals to polyhedral collections of atoms.

    Extractions: Oxygen the 'science-in-fiction' play written by chemists Carl Djerassi and Roald Hoffmann will permeate the Royal Institution as it debuts in London Oct. 27. With the premiere at the San Diego Repertory Theater in California and publication of the play (Wiley-VCH) last Spring, Djerassi, also known as 'Father of The Pill,' and Nobel laureate Hoffmann garnered kudos from an A-list of science 'critics' and respectable notice in theater circles. From Nobel laureates Harold Varmus and Murray Gell-Mann to best-selling authors Oliver Sacks and Stephen Jay Gould Oxygen has been heralded as "probing," "thought-provoking," "witty," "an extraordinary tour-de-force." The two-act drama is based on the premise that the Nobel Committee has decided in this, its centenary year to give the first "retro-Nobel" to the discoverer of oxygen. Three chemists, the committee quickly determines, lay a claim to that discovery: Antoine Laurent Lavoisier, father of the chemical revolution;
